Insect bites

Is it just me or do you also have multiple bites from over the summer?
Mine are still as itchy as hell, keep scabbing up, which I pick, then bleeding 🙄

Nope, the little bastards love me, as well.

I sat outside, for an hour, and was eaten alive. I'm smothered in bites, now, and I'm allergic to them, as well.

Which is nice. 🙄

They are driving me insane. I have them mostly around my ankles, so I initially thought fleas, but now I am not so sure. Others have appeared elsewhere.

Initially they're just the tiniest dot, but then become itchy as hell and after I scratch them they itch even more and become larger, redder and scabbier. My legs are an utter mess.

I didn't sleep well last night as a result. I am taking antihistamines but I'd like to be able to kill the bastards and prevent them from biting me in the first place.

They bite me mostly, and then my DD, but ignore my DS and DH. I do take long walks in the woods daily, so I wonder if I'm bringing harvest mites into the house?
